I think the NYC Water is somewhat thicker than other areas of the world. That may may explain the longer time it takes to ooze through the hydrant, into the pump and back out to a hose.
Actually, all jokes aside... it just the typical slow motion, let the fire grow, who gives a Phuck, call out everyone for job security FDNY clusterphuck
You can’t just run into a fire or just spray water until you understand and pinpoint the source of the fire also locating the fire making sure there are no civilians inside. Also ventilation is very i portent to fighting a fire.
I don’t understand the comments about “taking too long to put water on the fire.” The video shows a strong interior attack with 4 hoses (one is 2.5”). That interior attack was effective because they correctly identified where the seat of the fire was. The fire is knocked down before it burns through the roof or extends to nearby structures.
Thank you for the input but my Question now is if they carry only 500 to 1000 gallons what do they do where there is no water source? They have 2 Mins and that's it?
New York city has plenty of fire hydrants especially where the population density is extreme fire hydrants are everywhere they if I'm not mistaken some sections in Manhattan could have up to 3 hydrants just on one corner but some places in queens and statan island might have hydrants that are further apart compared to other locations thru out the city but would always have a hydrant to use to insure positive water supply at all times.
I know im not a fireman i just dont get as the house is on fire there just sort of looking and hanging out ? im sure theres a reason that i dont understand because im not in that profession
Engines carry a water supply but it's very limited - 500 to 1000 gallons. At the rate they pump water that can be gone in 2 minutes. Getting connected to a hydrant is critical as you you don't want your firefighters inside the building running the tank dry and then being at the seat of the fire with an empty hose in their hands. That puts them in dangers. Firefighters have different assigned roles when they arrive at a scene. Some are charged with entering and putting water on the fire. Some are charged with overhauling the fire building after the fire is under control and knocked down. That team has to sit and wait. Other firefighters are assigned as a RIT (rapid intervention team) and they are held in reserve to go in and rescue firefighters who might become trapped or have an incident that incapacitates them and puts them in danger. So they will be standing around. On multiple alarm fires you will see firefighters standing around waiting to relieve their colleagues currently fighting the fire. Depending on the length of the fire they rotate firefighters periodically to swap out their air tanks which are running low or simply for a break.
There is no sense of Urgency at all and as for water supply i thought the trucks carried water. I would hate to see EMS show up to a scene and casually walk to a Car that's had a serious Crash
Yes, trucks do carry water. But you have to know where to put it first. Look closer. The line going in the front door is charged. That's a primary attack line. The fireman holding the dry line is most likely waiting for assignment. It's easier to drag a dry line than a wet line. You'll see them pulling that line to the B side. This is real life. Not some Hollywood TV set.
I do understand the comment about why it takes so long for crews to prepare and start spraying water …. It’s unacceptable- I lived in Europe and there they are ready to go and spraying water in less than 90 seconds 🤷🏻♂️
Europe isn’t any better….there was just a recent hotel fire where they only had one ladder pipe in operation which was doing absolutely nothing to put the fire out.
Looks like they had a charged line at 50 seconds in the video? Where you there? You a psychic? No, just an asshole that dosent have a clue what he’s talking about
Whatever the flames didn't damage, that smoke surely ruined everything else in the house.
All these negative comments. If y’all don’t like the job the FDNY is doing don’t call them. Put it out yourself.
3 alarms ??? Come on. Orly in New York
Sick of people complains..

They were nearly at a "flash over" and had to get upper ventilation with the ground ladder or members would have been injured.
It doesn't take 4 lines in this size structure

Why was this a three alarm fire??
thank you for the incite i truly am not knowledge in this area
The answer is if there are no hydrants close to a fire then they resort to tanker trucks. Large Cities usually have enough hydrants though.
What was in that place, it was a smoker.
Flashover possibilities
Nice work guys keep it up 👩🚒🚒🚨🇺🇸
3 alarm fire.....not 3rd alarm fire
they so damn slow - turn the water on
I know im not a fireman i just dont get as the house is on fire there just sort of looking and hanging out ? im sure theres a reason that i dont understand because im not in that profession
let it cook a little more, looks better for the Evening News.
Pretty standard for them. Loads of people on the front lawn but hardly anybody sorting out a water supply. 🤷♂️

@@timpula9984 That's why we use high pressure hosereels as our first line of attack so we don't waste time to get started on dealing with the fire.
They are unprepared and there seems to be no sense of urgency. In Europe where I lived they practically run out of the truck with hose in hand 🖐🏻

That we have people like these all around the world who are ready to walk into trouble when everyone else is running away from it, is incredible.
No running on the fire grounds. There was no urgency here.

No fire seen in this video, only smoke.
